Back in 1992, NPR’s Weekend Edition reported that salsa was officially outperforming ketchup in US markets. That little factoid has been debated ever since, but the intention was clear – Americans love hot sauce. Cookbook author Jennifer Trainer Thompson challenges us to take our passion for the fiery condiment one step further by making our own.

Join KCRW’s Cookbook Club and you will receive 5 great cookbooks a year just like this one.
